Soul Food for the Day: Dead End Ahead ...
What does man gain from all his labor
at which he toils under the sun? Ecc. 1:3

Everyone by nature wants to be a success. This is not bad thing, and we should not misunderstand Solomon’s statements in Ecclesiastes. He never suggested that ignorance, laziness, mediocrity, poverty or failures are good things. It’s permissive to have possessions and pleasure too is permitted as long as it is done in sin ( as in adultery ) or excess ( as in gluttony ). But Solomon did make the case that these things have no lasting value. Like us, they are here only for a brief time under the sun. We should pursue excellence, but we should remember that nothing we have or attain will satisfy our deepest needs, these things are dead ends! I Matthew 6:25 it says: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?”
Jesus called us to recognize that the one thing that truly matters that does not perish under the sun and that does give significance, happiness, and eternal life is knowing God!

Prayer: Lord, God, Our Father, Jesus is the living water from whom we may drink and never thirst again. Give us the grace to abandon the deceitful waters that only increase our cravings...
Help us to come to him, the fountain springing up into eternal life. In Jesus’ name. Amen...

Feed Your Faith Daily

MATTHEW 4:4 NKJ
4 But He answered and said, "It is written, `Man shall not live
by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth
of God.'"

You may neglect the Word of God and still exist, but you will
not enjoy life -- really live -- as God intended, without
feeding regularly on God's Word.

Just as you need physical food to remain strong physically, you
also need spiritual food to stay strong spiritually.

God's Word -- the Bible -- is the food that feeds our faith,
and gives us spiritual strength.

Every day you need to feed, at least some, on God's Word.

A helpful key is to develop good habits, such as reading the
Word every time you eat food, or every morning when you awake,
or right before you go to sleep. The time is not important,
just that you remember every day.

There are many ways to feed on God's Word available to us
today. Reading, or listening to, teaching from the Bible is one
way. Speaking the Word -- especially when you personalize it,
can really build your faith fast. Of course, nothing can
replace your own reading of the Bible, or having it read to
you.

Most of us have busy schedules. Time is scarce, and we must
invest it wisely. Nothing will benefit us more -- both in this
life and in the one to come -- than feeding on God's Word.

All of us can find time for God's Word, if we want to. You can
write Scriptures on cards to read and meditate on whenever you
stop in traffic, or whenever you have to wait for someone.
Maybe listening as you travel, or as you prepare for work, is a
good plan for you.

The important thing is that you have a plan, so you don't let
this most important habit slip.

Seeing the Word. Hearing the Word. Speaking the Word. Thinking
about the Word. This is what builds our faith and keeps us
strong spiritually.

SAY THIS: I will feed my faith daily on God's Word.
